Any time I have the opportunity to share the incredible flavors and mind-blowing diversity of Indian cuisine with someone, I jump at the chance. Today, come with me as I eat Indian food with an awesome Colombian fashion influencer!
This food adventure would take place at my favorite Indian restaurant in Miami, Bombay Darbar with my friend Carolina, a fashion influencer from Colombia! She’s also my best friend’s girlfriend!
We started with some plain lassi and mango lassi, and papadum with tomato chutney and a mint chutney. The mint chutney contained cilantro and had a bit of sweetness to it. My plain lassi was really sweet and refreshing!
Next, we had chilli paneer, samosa chaat, veg pakoras, and tandoori chicken wings. The chicken wings came with a tamarind chutney and had a delicious smoky flavor and tender texture.
The chilli paneer came with onions and bell pepper and came doused in a chili sauce. Next was the samosa chaat came with chickpeas, sev, yogurt, and tamarind chutney. It was sweet, creamy, and crunchy!
The veg pakoras had a nice crispness to them. The onions and potatoes were fantastic with sweet tamarind chutney.
Then, we jumped on the veg biryani, butter chicken, lamb pasanda, onion kulcha, garlic naan, raita, and fish Goan curry. The tender lamb was incredible, as was the gravy. I loved the cashews in it! I taught Carolina how to tear the naan and how to only eat with your right hand!
The butter chicken was also excellent. The fish Goan curry was full of coconut flavor. Then, I added rice to the remaining sauce. Then, we jumped on the veg biryani and had some of the raita on the side to mix in. Mixing the biryani into any of the sauces is always amazing!
For dessert, we had some rasmalai and pistachio kulfi, which is like a cross between ice cream and sorbet. The rasmalai was creamy and milky, very sweet, and fluffy. I loved the saffron on it. It’s similar to arroz con leche.
The kulfi was dense and contained shaved almonds, crushed pistachios, and a fruity syrup. It was a great way to end our meal!
